Bollocks to Brexit….
Here we go again…Nigel Farage is exactly where he wants to be at the centre of the news whirlwind. He has never had to actually get his hands dirty with the business of governing this country but that doesn’t matter … Continue reading
Well that was a waste of time….
Matt Chorley – Red Box Newsletter 11th April 2019 Well that was a waste of time. We had a referendum in 2016 which indicated Britain wanted to Leave the European Union (EU). The Conservative government decided to make Brexit their … Continue reading
Polishing Balls…
I hope this makes sense but as I’ve got a cold so my thinking isn’t as clear as it should be (I’ll let you decide whether my thinking as ever been that clear!) So we are at start of yet … Continue reading

All hail the Great Mogg…
A couple of things have happened to me over the past few days to make me realise that I am now living in someone else’s historical research. The first was when I was watching a better than expected documentary about … Continue reading
